This is a continuation off the recipes we experimented with after having so many left over from our photoshoot earlier last month. Serve both with pita, crackers, vegetables or tortilla chips! Our white bean dip takes flavours from Italy, while the black bean dip is Mexican.

White Bean Dip

Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) of white beans, e.g. cannellini beans

1 clove garlic, smashed and chopped*

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

⅓ c extra virgin olive oil + 1 Tbs to finish

½ c parsley, rinsed and picked

salt and pepper to taste

Pita chips, crackers, fresh cut vegetables to serve

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until blended smooth. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.

Transfer to a bowl and (optionally) drizzle with a small amount of olive oil.

Black Bean Dip

Made from the recipe on Huffpost

Though beans are bland on their own, adding lots of spices, lime juce, herbs and onions
